CHEERLEADING RULES
Below is an overview of rules that each cheerleader is expected to follow.
Please read them carefully so that you are aware of the expectations for being a
Page Middle School cheerleader. After tryouts, should you make the squad, a more
definitive list will be given to you by your coach.
1. Each cheerleader must presently have and maintain a C or above average.
This is in agreement with Williamson County School Board policy for all
athletes.
2. Any cheerleader receiving two infractions will be suspended from the squad
for two weeks. If inappropriate behavior continues, the cheerleader may be
removed from the squad at the coach’s and/or principal’s discretion.
3. EACH CHEERLEADER IS EXPECTED TO ATTEND AND CHEER AT ALL
GAMES AND PRACTICES. Anyone receiving two unexcused absences from
games or practices will automatically be dismissed from the squad. Any
absence that is not pre-approved by the coach is unexcused. Anyone that
does not attend school the day of a game or pep rally will NOT be allowed
to cheer at that game or pep rally. She must attend school long enough to
be counted as a legal day according to the state guidelines.
4. Basketball cheerleaders will not be allowed to be a member of a competitive
squad outside of Page Middle School. The competitions fall during this
season and conflict with many games and practices. The amount of hours
expected from both squads is too much for the cheerleaders and they often
become sick or hurt and therefore unable to perform.
5. Repeated tardiness to games or practices will result in probable cause for
cheerleader dismissal.
6. All cheerleaders must have rides waiting for them after each game and
practice. The cheerleader’s coach will not be responsible for rides to and
from cheerleader’s homes.
7. Summer camp for football, basketball, and wrestling cheerleaders is
mandatory. No excuse will be made.
8. While in uniform, each cheerleader should wear her hair in a ponytail with
her hair bow/ribbon, no jewelry, and appropriate nail polish.
9. Any Page Middle cheerleader caught using tobacco, alcohol, drugs, or
profanity will be dismissed from the squad immediately.
10. All members must abide faithfully by the rules set down by the coaches.
Failure to do so may result in suspension or dismissal.

Cheerleading Tryout Application
My child, _________________________________ has my permission to be a
cheerleader at Page Middle School. I understand that she must abide by the rules
and regulations set forth by the coaches and the principals of Page Middle and be
present for all practices and games. I have read the Page Middle Tryout Packet
and understand what is required of my child to participate in tryouts. I
understand if chosen, my child will be required to attend summer camp, practices
during the week, squad practices at Premier Gymnastics, and all games. I
understand that if my child makes the Football Squad, that mandatory squad
classes will begin in July and there will be other practices in the summer she must
attend.
I understand that cheerleaders must furnish their own transportation to all away
games. I realize this is a team effort and that I may be called upon to help in
some ways throughout the year which are within my capacity to help. I will make
every effort to do my share of assisting on behalf of my child and the cheerleading
squad. I understand that my child may be suspended or dismissed from the squad
due to any disruption that she may cause.
I understand that my child will be evaluated by qualified judges and I agree to
abide by the decisions of the judges. I also understand all estimated costs involved
as stated in the tryout packet. I realize, by the very nature of the activity,
cheerleading (which includes gymnastics and stunting) carries a risk of physical
injury. I will not hold Page Middle, the coaches of or associated with the sport,
nor Williamson County Board of Education responsible in the case of an accident
or injury at any time.
I understand that all forms and the tryout fee must be completed and turned in by
Tuesday, March 29 th , or my child will be unable to tryout.
